5 – Deulofeu to score anytime – 12/5
Venezia take on Udinese in Serie A’s Sunday lunchtime kick-off, with time rapidly running out for the Lagunari to save their season. Paolo Zanetti’s side sit 18th in the Serie A table and are currently in their worst form of the season with five consecutive defeats, as they prepare to face the Zebrette.
It was not too long ago that Udinese were looking in a similar predicament to their weekend hosts. However, the Friulani found a new lease of life in 2022. They’ve lost just two of their last nine games, while they thrashed Cagliari 5-1 on their last outing. For this reason, the visitors are justifiably favourites on Sunday and our recommended bet for the win.
Despite their solid run of results though, Udinese have struggled defensively at times, conceding an average of 1.6 goals per game this season. Gabriele Cioffi’s side tend not to give too many goals away, but they struggle to keep clean sheets. Given that both teams have scored in every one of the Zebrette’s last six matches, this would seem a reasonable bet for this weekend’s match.
In recent weeks, Venezia have been as bad offensively as Udinese have been at keeping a clean sheet. Paolo Zanetti’s side have failed to score in any of their last three games, with only Genoa and Salernitana providing a worse attacking output over the course of the season. Matches at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo tend to be relatively low-scoring affairs, with just one of the last seven ending with more than three goals scored. For this reason, we’re recommending under 3.5 goals scored as a prudent bet.
Looking to provide the entertainment factor, Udinese’s front two have built up a lethal partnership this season. Beto appears to have rediscovered his shooting boots after a lengthy spell of nine games without a goal, as he bagged a hat-trick in the recent mauling of Cagliari. With his confidence back up, a bet on the big Portuguese forward to score first on Sunday is our tip.
Alongside Beto, Gerard Deulofeu is on track for his best-ever goalscoring season, requiring just one more to equal his record of double figures. While not as prolific as his strike partner, the Spaniard has good odds to get on the scoresheet against a leaky Venezia defence.

Venezia team news
Sergio Romero and Luca Lezzerini are both nearing returns to action for Venezia, but are unlikely to feature as early as Sunday, meaning Niki Maenpaa will start in goal once again. Paolo Zanetti has all his outfield players available, with Nani still looking for his first goal in Arancianeroverdi having started just three games.
Udinese team news
Gabriele Cioffi will have a decision to make as Gerard Deulofeu should be fit to return to the side, despite Isaac Success’s strong showing against Cagliari. Pablo Mari is also available having served his suspension, but may struggle to displace Bram Nuytinck who impressed last weekend.
